Ti si meni zapala za oči
Čija si lijepa đevojko?
Poljubiću tvoje crno oko

Da ih je sedam nikome te ne dam

I have loved this song since i first heard it in 2007!

Underrated, daring and a quite good debut from Montenegro! ironically a year after voting for independence from Serbia they missed out winning ESC, if you look at the semifinal scoreboard that year you'll see this song scored points from only ex-Yugoslav countries and also Albania, proves that languages and cultures are most common cause for bloc voting.

An excellent combination of rock and traditional Montenegrin music

At the beginning Montenegro was already underrated 😭
